Synopsis:
A yakuza gang selects a good-for-nothing street vendor to stir up trouble in enemy territory. With a flashy suit, a gun and a pocketful of money, he feels like a king but when trouble comes knocking, he realizes that waving a gun and pulling the trigger are two very different things. After the major studios refused to finance it, director Sadao Nakajima ( The Japanese Godfather Trilogy ) took this project to New Wave bastion of the Art Theater Guild. With a deeply impressive performance by Tsunehiko Watase ( Sympathy for the Underdog ) that predates Robert DeNiro's indelible turn as Travis Bickle in Scorsese's Taxi Driver for three years, Aesthetics of a Bullet is a lost gem of 1970s Japanese cinema ripe for rediscovery.
